Newseum Hosts Pulitzer Prize Winners at May 29 Gallery Talk

Honorees for feature and breaking news photography included staff at Reuters for “a vivid and startling visual narrative of the urgency, desperation and sadness of migrants as they journey to the U.S. from Central and South America,” as well as award winner Lorenzo Tugnoli, shooting for The Washington Post, “for brilliant photo story telling of the tragic famine in Yemen.”

Adrees Latif, part of the award-winning Reuters photojournalism team, has captured images captivating the public interest throughout his career, including his coverage of a street demonstration in Myanmar, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography.

“We are thrilled to host Lorenzo Tugnoli and Adrees Latif to speak about their Pulitzer Prize–winning photographs. Their images are a powerful reminder of the role that photojournalists play in providing new insight and understanding about world events,” explained Patty Rhule, vice president of exhibit development and content at the Newseum.
